Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, February 2004. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 111-112). === This experiment system provides a mechanism to study hedonic sensory integration in human subjects with specific focus on interaction between pain and pleasure. The system allows creation of stimuli segments with varying degrees of intensity and change based on subject's own discomfort thresholds and provides analysis mechanisms which illustrate the impact of mixing concurrent pain and pleasure. === by David I.
